Scandalous aka Contraversy
I'm an emcee's emcee. The crew that I roll with is called SOL Essential(Kid Syco, Adam B, Stephaun Anu, and Scandalous). It's nothing but real hip hop. And everyone that is trying to do hip hop claims to be doing "real" hip hop. As a friend of mine named greg once said real hip hop is who you are... I'm trying to relive the lyrical prowless, metaphors, and story telling abilities of the early and late '90's and mesh it into the year 2005. So listen to the lyrics as they blend with the beat that's the point of this hip hop. It's poetry in motion.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I have won at club moxi's weekly poetry contest.
I was featured on Savannah's local hip-hop/poetry show "The Chop Shop"
I was featured in Savannah's newspaper the Savannah Morning News.
I've played at various clubs in Augusta, Ga.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Love it, when you get on stage and just ACTUALLY freestyle it's beautiful. Catch me at the Jinx on Teus. at 11 pm in Savannah, Ga. Me and a whole gang of good emcees are always there. Big up to the h20 fam.
